Name.
I slowly sat up, pain coursing through my body. It felt like I had just been on a very long mission, with back to back fighting, no resting… much like training with Lee and Gai I guess, but no sleep… just training with them for 48 hours. Man, that would be almost deadly!
As slowly as I sat up, did the memories from the previous day flood back.
"Tenten, lie back down, it's okay," Sakura said to me. I did as she said, and looked around the room. We were still in the bedroom, and by the looks of it, no help had come. "You had a miscarriage, from the fall… but as you were pregnant with twins, I managed to transfer the life source from one baby to the other, taking it from the weaker one, to improve the chances of one living. I know it sounded brutal, but otherwise they both would have died. I then, used my chakra to strength the lungs, and help the stomach to develop so it can handle milk. It was a touch and go operation, and she still isn't out of the woods, but the chance are good. I'm sorry one had to die, but it looks like you were more pregnant then you first thought!"
I looked at her, she must have used all her chakra to help me, and used some of Hinata's and Ino's too, telling them what to do, when she couldn't. These girls had tried so hard for me. I looked at them all, they all had sheepish grins on their faces, but I could see the sadness, and tiredness behind it. They tried sooo hard for me, they were amazing!
"Can… can I see her?" I asked them. Hinata nodded, and went over to the sofa, where they had made a makeshift cot. I saw her pull out a small bundle of sheets, and carry the small package to me. I can tell you now, I hadn't expected my first birth to be like this! In a dark room, no medical equipment, no father of the baby around, had to kill the other twin… the baby couldn't have gotten off to a worse start! And to top it all of, she was born into a kidnapping. Poor girl!
"So! What you going to name her?!" Ino squealed, as I looked at the small buddle in my arms. She had Neji's eyes, and my colour hair, not that there was much colour difference, mine was just a shade lighter, but she did have my mouth and nose!
"Hm… what about…"I struggled to search through my memory for a name I loved.
"Ino junior?" Ino suggested, I laughed and shook my head, and she folder her arms over her chest and turn her body away in a fake huff.
"Mai?" Hinata asked.
"It's a cute name and I love it, but, I don't think she is going to be a quiet child, if she is brought up by me!" I told her.
"True…" Sakura said.
"OI!" I replied, jokingly annoyed. It's amazing how much the mood has changed… but then again a new birth brings new happiness I guess. "I have the perfect name! Kuri Mai! Kuri means chestnut, hair colour, and Mai brightness… she has managed to brighten all our moods! Its perfect!"
"I loooove it!" Ino exclaimed.
"Me too!" Sakura added.
"And me, and the best thing of all is you like it, and it is fitting!" Hinata shyly added on too the others outbursts.
"The other baby was also a girl, even though she is dead, she still needs a name…" Sakura sadly added, nodding towards the second buddle.
"Can you bring her here, I want to she her," I asked them. Ino nodded, and went to pick up the small infant, and placed her in my other arm. I looked down at her. They were both identical. I let a silent tear fall from my face while I thought of a name for the girl. It was my fault she was dead, for being a clutz. "Yoshino Suki. It means respectful, which we should be of her, for giving up her life, even if it wasn't willingly and Suki means beloved, as she is loved by me always!"
We all had tears in our eyes now, for the dead tot in my arms. I looked her closely, she really was beautiful and so innocent. It wasn't fair, the cruel fate of the world.
All of a sudden there was a large banging on the door, and it flew open, the light blinding us all.
"It seems the decision has been taken out of our hands, am I correct?" The man from yesterday asked us, while staring at the bundle's in my arms. "Well, one of them is dead, I can tell that much, just from the look on your faces… but the other one, she is alive and well. So, I guess I will be taking them both with me. There is no point in the children being dragged into your mess now, I'll just hand them over to Neji, and make sure he gives the dead one a proper funeral. And judging by the great team work, medical skills, and quick recovery, you four are just to valuable to let us lose you!"
He had a horrible sneer in his voice, and I looked at the girls, and we all nodded. We were not letting him take the infant with out a fight. And we were not going to be kept here, we would leave or die trying!
He took a step forward, and I rested the infants on the bed, and dived towards him, starting the fight.
